2002 Reading List

Note: Some faculty have strongly suggested that you read their books. I have changed those recommendations to be required. I have done so because the seminar is not a course in which a faculty member will offer you a set body of information in a lecture format. The intent of this seminar is to engage you in the dialogue about issues to which these people have given great time and thought. Thus, you should be familiar with the material they have already published on the issues to be discussed. Where a faculty person has suggested a number of readings, try to read at least two of them.

*Included in the reading packet.

R = Required            S = Highly Suggested
